(54) Systems and methods for image processing


(57) The present disclosure relates generally systems and methods for image data processing. In certain embodiments, a method 112 for transferring the image data may include processing the image data in an image sensor 82 by correcting one or more defective pixels in the image data based on a one-dimensional defective pixel correction algorithm 120; horizontally demosaicing the image data based on a one-dimensional horizontal demosaic algorithm 122; or a combination thereof. After processing the image data, the method 112 may include horizontally downscaling the processed image data in the image sensor 116 and vertically downscaling the horizontally downscaled image data 118 in an image signal processor 32 to be displayed for viewing on a display device 28.
